Sam Faiers gives Joey Essex his 'last shot'

Sam Faiers says it is the last time she will give her relationship with her former 'The Only Way Is Essex' co-star Joey Essex a chance

Sam Faiers has given Joey Essex his "last shot" to make their relationship work.

The former 'TOWIE' stars - who have dated on and off since 2012 - decided to give their relationship another try in March and Sam, 23, believes it's the last time they will get back together.

She told The Daily Star newspaper: "It's the third time we have got back together and it's our last shot at things. We both deserve to be happy and can't keep going round in circles so we knew we had to make a proper go of it.

"We are happy, love each other and are currently house hunting in Essex.

"But we are taking it so slow though because last time we jumped into an engagement and put so much pressure on ourselves we ended up losing respect for each other."

Sam - who famously split from Joey, 23, on an episode of the reality series after the pair got engaged last year - also hinted she would like to return to the hit ITV show in the future to spend time with her pregnant sister Billie.

She said: "A cameo here and there wouldn't hurt. Especially if it was to see Billie and the baby."
